Best Use of an Accordion on a Rock Album - REM: You Are The Everything

After hearing some of his AGIB stuff like the hammered dulcimers, the big smashup part of ALTWYS, then the drone, and then hearing Mobile, it seems that he was toned down a bit on SBS to me.

Tony called. It's going to be a Greatest Hits compilation, due in stores for Christmas. Jay's taping the infomercials now.

Happy nearly-belated birthday. You got 8 minutes left - knock yourself out!

The more I listen to this and to Sunny Feeling, the more I hear some prog in them. Which is good.

Indy pics #6 and 7. Jeff lied to us, people. Said the suits were packed away on ice...

Apparently you were too busy texting? (BTW, I noticed in Indy that the crowd didn't erupt when it started, which I thought was kinda weird).

Oh. Must be a currency thing, then. Carry on.

That's odd. Must have something to do with the international date line or GMT or something like that.

Don was French.

Marah - "So What if We're Out of Tune (With the Rest of the World)"

One of my truisms which I have always tried to hang onto is "Always clap for the band, no matter how bad they are." Really. I mean, they get up in front of people and get all vulnerable and stuff, and then the least I can do in return is clap a little. They have way more guts than me at that point, so give it up a little, you know? Just seems like basic respect to me. What does anyone have to gain by dis'ing a performer? I don't get it...

Surprisingly overlooked here. At the risk of e-wrath, I really do like this one.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! ! ! Fixed it for ya.

THIS POOP'S GOT AIR BAGS!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Greg! Have a blast...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! 32 is good. Heck, they're all good... once you get past 29.

Two great, creative, re-inventing kinds of bands, yes. But no, I don't hear the influence. I always thought of Radiohead as a kind of Pink Floyd for the next generation. I don't see Wilco as that at all.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

List of political and geographic subdivisions by total area from 50,000 to 100,000 km

Which means that there were 21 people who did not have YHF anywhere on their list? Oh, my.

Thanks!!!! What a great list... So it looks like 58 people sent you a list, and there were a total of 563 different albums on those lists??? Wow. Further commentary will be provided, I'm sure...

The giveaway for the Indy show was three black music stands on the side of the stage near Pat's area. One of them had a little sticker on the back side of it that said "TRUMPET".
